COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOOSTER
The booster provides Ethernet connectivity that
allows access to a web-based user interface for
communicating with the control board, program-
ming the individual filters, checking system status,
etc. Communications will require connecting your
laptop computer to the Enet connector on the con-

dard Ethernet crossover cable is used to make the
connection between your laptop computer and the
booster cabinet. Refer to Appendix A at the back
of this manual for detailed instructions on how to
properly connect your laptop computer to the Enet
port of the booster.
